There's been a few instances of passengers' phones slipping down into lie flat business seats and being crushed as they are adjusted, resulting in the lithium batteries going off. They certainly seem to be causing issues. Very difficult to put out. The current recommendation in most places is to totally immerse them in a non flammable liquid, but it's still going to generate on awful lot of heat against the bottom it rests on.
